Synopsis of hand surgery/ [edited by] Dawn LaPorte.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Hand surgery emerged as a specialty due to advances in treatment of hand injuries incurred during World War II. Synopsis of Hand Surgery by distinguished hand surgeon Dawn LaPorte reflects the approach championed by the late American surgeons Sterling Bunnell and Norman Kirk: multidisciplinary care is key to optimal treatment of bone and soft tissue conditions in the hand and wrist. The book features contributions from an impressive group of hand and upper extremity surgeons and radiologists"--Anatomy and Approaches / Jessica Hawken and Aviram M.

Bolborhinum geotrupoides Laporte 1840
No full textBolborhinum geotrupoides (Laporte, 1840) (Figs. 1, 2, 15–18) Original combination. Bolboceras geotrupoides Laporte, 1840: 104. Type locality: “ CHILE, Talca Prov., Alto Vilches, 1100 m ” (original type locality: “ Chili ”). Type series: neotype at CMNC labeled: “ CHILE, Talca Prov. / AltoVilches, 1100m. / 10–12.XII. 1976 / H. F. Howden” (typeset), b) “H.&A. HOWDEN / COLLEC- TION / Ottawa, Canada ” (typeset with black border), c) “ BOLBOCERAS / GEOTRUPOIDES / LAPORTE ɗ / NEOTYPE / A.B.T. SMITH ” (red label, handwritten and typeset), d) “Southern Neotropical Scarabs / database # AS 2607270 / Bolborhinum geotrupoides / (Laporte, 1840) ɗ / DET: A.B.T. SMITH 2006 ” (typeset). Neotype here designated. See “Designation of lectotypes and neotypes ” section for further statements of qualifying conditions for the designation of this neotype. All reasonable steps were exhausted to trace the original type material of this taxon. Many Laporte type specimens have been lost, but some are currently housed in the MNHN and in the Museum of Victoria in Abbotsford, Australia (MVMA). The second author searched for type material at the MNHN in May 2005 and Ken Walker (curator of entomology at the MVMA) searched for type material in the MVMA, both without success. We can only conclude that the type material has been lost. The specimen selected as the neotype matches the original description of Laporte (1840) and falls within the original type locality. Synonym. Bolboceras binasutum Fairmaire and Germain, 1861: 2 (emended from Bolboceras binasutus). New Synonymy. Type locality: “Chilensia.” Type series: lectotype at MNHN labeled a) “ 1683 ” (handwritten), b) “ Bolboceras / binasutus ” (handwritten by Fairmaire), c) “MUSEUM PARIS / Collection Léon Fairmaire / 1906 ” (typeset), d) “ TYPE ” (red label, typeset), e) “ BOLBOCERAS / BINASUTUM / FAIRMAIRE & GERMAIN / LECTOTYPE ɗ / A.B.T.

Lectotype here designated. Specimens examined. 343 specimens were examined from AUPC, CMNC, CNCI, FMNH, GACC, HAHC, INHS, JEBC, JMEC, MEUC, MGAC, MNHN, MNNC, SRTC, UCCC, UMCE, VMDC. Diagnosis. Length 14.5–22.0 mm. Color generally reddish-brown. The number, shape, and placement of the male clypeal horns are diagnostic as follows: head dorsally with two medial horns that are connected by an elevated carina (Fig. 15); the apical horn is more robust and located at the clypeal apex, the basal horn is smaller and located immediately behind the first. The two horns could be interpreted as a single bifid horn (in small individuals the second clypeal horn is replaced by a pair of small tubercles located on each side of the midline). Male pronotum with deep and wide anterior excavation occupying almost two thirds of pronotum; surface smooth, generally impunctate; posterosuperior ridge transverse, slightly arcuate anteriorly, sometimes with lateral edge anteriorly projected in larger specimens. Female similar to male, except in the trapezoidal shape and smaller length of the head in comparison with the male; dorsal surface medially with a small, weakly elevated tubercle and a pair of short lateral carinae that are convergent distally. Clypeus anteriorly truncate, elevated. Pronotum with weak depression located immediately behind the apical margin; disc with fine furrow and sparse punctures on the dorsal surface; laterally with punctures dense to sparse, distributed irregularly across the surface.

XIV Región de Los Ríos (1): Valdivia (1). Country record only (3). Temporal data: January (60), February (26), March (8), April (5), September (5), October (24), November (89), December (123). Remarks: Identification of this species is complicated because of the variable head armature of males. The second clypeal horn can be either prominent or absent, and when present, this horn is either bifurcate or simple. In individuals where the second clypeal horn is absent, there is in its place a pair of distinctly separated tubercles behind the first clypeal horn (Figs. 17–18). This variation is not as extreme as the male dimorphism recognized by Howden (1979) in some species of the Australian genus Blackburnium Boucomont, but it is enough to cause confusion and probably lead to the failure to recognize B. geotrupoides and B. binasutum as synonyms until now. We examined over 200 male specimens of this species and found the male armature of B. geotrupoides, B. binasutum, and B. distinguendum to fall within our concept of this somewhat variable species. Therefore the latter two names are here synonymized under B. geotrupoides.Published as part of Mondaca, José & Smith, Andrew B.

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Heuristics for the traveling salesman problem with pickup and delivery
No full textWe consider the Traveling Salesman Problem with Pickup and Delivery (TSPPD), an extension of the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem where each customer to be served is associated with two quantities of goods to be collected and delivered, respectively. A vehicle with given capacity starts at a depot and must visit each customer exactly once. The vehicle capacity must not be exceeded and the total length of the tour must be minimized. We describe new heuristics for TSPPD, the first based on the exact solution of a special case and the second based on tabu search, and we analyze their average performance through extensive computational experiments
